Description
The unique competitive landscape in the new millennium presents opportunities for entrepreneurial activities but also new challenges. For example, when opportunities are identified, firms must take definitive action to exploit them. As such, an entrepreneurial mindset may be important to capture the benefits of uncertainty in the landscape. To capture these benefits through identifying and exploiting opportunities requires something more than entrepreneurial activities. The new business This text integrates the perspectives and approaches of entrepreneurship and strategic management models and "new winners" are entrepreneurial but also strategic. Thus, we believe that the winners in the new millennium landscape practice strategic entrepreneurship. That is, they engage in entrepreneurship with a strategic perspective. Practicing strategic entrepreneurship involves the integration of opportunity-seeking and advantage-seeking behaviours. This book presents new theoretical perspectives from leading scholars in six major domains: resources and organizational learning, innovation alliances and networks internationalization strategic leadership growth.
